Huge kudos to this woman for doing this in what's not her native language - there are so many very particular terms one uses when being specific about colors that it's tremendous to communicate the right thing!
I thought that was a really clear color anazlysis. I really understood. Her beginning steps narrowed down so many things, I don't usually see that and I like it. When you're buying clothes I think knowing your pattern contrast, and color depth is SO important. She explained the soft/medium colors against each other so well. (adding white, adding yellow)
I used to be sceptical about colour analysis but from what I’ve seen, in person with a professional does seem to work really well. She was so clear and you could see everything she talked about. It looked like her analysis was spot on. As you say though, no one needs to follow colour analysis like a religion - I think at the end of the day, people washouts wear what they want and there is no obligation dress in the most flattering clothes - but it’s a nice guideline and useful for having a bit of insight into what is most harmonious with your skin tone especially if you’re looking into making a more expensive purchase or long term purchases. It’s quite fun to see what colours work best on people!
I have done a colour analysis about 10 years ago. At that time there where the 4 seasons. I am a spring season. And blue spring in particular. After I did the analysis I kept to the colours that suit my skin best. It has helped me avoiding many mistake-buys. I recommend it to everyone and I compliment everyone who is wearing something that brings their natural beauty to the light. ❤
very nice analysis! :) because in the cool vs warm the cool was winning by far, I actually think that you're a COOL summer. The "sister season" of soft summer would be soft autumn, so this should also work on you which it obviously didn't...
I agree! Nothing altered her look more than the cool VS warm in my opinion. A cool summer would not borrow from a soft autumn. Still I think this is a great analysis. I like the soft colors on her. She is definitely a summer. The fact that she's still wearing black throws her in the cool summer category because then she could borrow from winter which is the palette of black.
I agree! Also because she actually looks fine in black, which would make sense for a cool summer (with cool winter as a sister palette). Black is not soft summer's color at all.
I think because we are humans none of us strictly falls into the palette of season. I think your analysis was good. For my eye you were right in between true and cool summer:) but both looked good. You probably just firgure your 3-5 best colors that are around summer palette and stick to them. Color analysis is made for structuring your clothing choises so everything matches and you dont have to buy too much. So it is a great tool especially for those who are impulse buyers.
The moment she dropped the cool flag to show the warm flag just behind you, your skin looked more sallow. That’s crazy! Definitely cool is your biggest identifier from what the screen shows
This is precisely why an in-person draping is so many miles better than a digital one. Photoshopping yourself onto coloured backgrounds can’t mimic how the colours would reflect light onto your face!
Thanks for sharing this! I thought your analyst did a great job and explained well. You look nice in the soft summer palette but honestly I think you're a cool summer. If I were you I would borrow from that palette rather than the soft autumn. You're clearly a cool skin tone and autumn is warm.
Thought the exact same thing before scrolling down to see any of the comments. Yes; soft summer fits ok, but in cool summer I thought her eyes sparkled more and it looked like she was wearing a flattering lipstick. (The analyst even said @15:00 "I really love these colors on you"--& I agree!)
That's true! The analyst did say that about the cool summer. From my understanding if the temperature of the color is what makes the most difference, that is what would make her a cool summer rather than the soft summer. If the softness is more important, then you could be on the borderline of the soft autumn. It's best to borrow from a palette Is that shares the same top priority. In my opinion some people don't need to borrow from any other palette. Perhaps she's a cool summer who could borrow from the soft summer palette.
Seeing you at the end of the video in black/dark clothes, after just seeing you in the soft summer ones made it really evident how much better you look in clothes in your season. You mentioned you still wear a lot of black and white.. I hope you will give those soft summer colors more chances!
Slowly changing over my wardrobe! I'm trying to thrift as much of it as possible and also experiment with dyeing my old white clothes which has been fun.
I love watching these. I would be so interested in a follow up on this in a year. I thought I would continue to wear colors that were not in my palette but the longer I’m on this color journey the more I see it and the less interested I am in colors that are not mine. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Or if you will. ❤
@@ready4reiki I agree. I've spent a lifetime wearing colors that were not in my palette and struggling to figure out what actually looked good on me. Now that I know, I only want to wear the colors in my palette because I love what they do for my skin and needing almost no makeup
I suspect I'll feel the same! I may never fully stop wearing black and white, and the odd pop of red, but I do find myself "sticking to my colours" with new purchases.
It's weird to me that so many people here are negging in the comments? I thought it was a really nice analysis, and I agree that while it is good to know your season it's not a hard rule to follow it ALL the time. I found Ana Luz online and went looking for reviews and your video popped up. I live in Montreal and I'm looking to have a colour analysis done because while I'm pretty certain I'm a soft autumn, I keep thinking I have too much contrast to neatly fit into that category. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video and as soon as I am able to I'm going to see about booking Ana. Thank you for making this!
Looking at the swatches of summer, I thought the pic from cool summer looked much better, but so thought light summer worked better than soft summer on you as well.
Yes I believe you got different results. I'm cool toned and I wear mostly cool tones with some neutral/warm mixed in for interest. It's all fine on me. I don't want or need a season. I look good in cool variations of all colors and the cool side of the color wheel. My wardrobe tops are a rainbow of happy colors. I tend to stay away from very dark colors. I like brighter colors for the warmer seasons especially, but I like neutral or muted colors sometimes too. I am supposed to look good in white because it's cool, but I don't because I'm older and my teeth are getting more ivory, so I look best in a neutral off white. I wear white gold and silver metals. This season thing is pretty much a scam IMO. Most people can tell if they are cool or warm and if they wear dark colors well or not. I put garments up to me and look at how they make me look before trying on. It's not rocket science. All you need is a color wheel if it doesn't come naturally to you.
You know I was going to say ‘cool’ between the neutral and cool, but then went ‘oh!’ And rewound as I saw that the cool summer palette cast more shadows on your face and the neutral made you smoothly shiny even. That makes me wonder as I’ve been vacillating between cool winter and true (16 season) but really blue pinks just don’t look quite right.
@@cathwalsh9921 this was hard for me to see at first too! Plus, I like the cool summer palette a lot. But it was really in photos that I could see the difference. Bonus of soft summer is you « suit » all metal colours.
Thanks! This is the most helpful colour analysis video i have ever seen! For the first time ever, i wish i were in Montréal 😊 (spent many years in Québec -- love that city)! 😂❤❤
Your "mhmmm" is making me laugh. Primarily cause I'm having exactly the same reactions😂 Mhmmm...let me watch on and perhaps I'll be able to comprehend something. Anything? That "Handmaid's tale" look is priceless. As well as your expression. 😉 I see I'll be editing this comment to oblivion. Sorry, I simply can't "be quiet/still". Idk if I'm crazy(imagining things), but the picture you inserted at 8:49 so clearly shows the difference! Is it just me?!? I'd say that it's much easier to see differences on photos. Maybe I'd be 100% sure if I'd watch till the end. And then yap...🤔 Aaaaand yeah...you've just said it: you can see it BETTER in pics. If only I have waited...I'm an inpatient idiot.
I had my colours done many, many years ago. Funny fact but where I live there are a number of missionaries and most of the women were wearing the dark autumn colours - a friend who has studied all this and was setting up her business used me to show who really should be wearing that particular range of colours. Mind you here where I live is sub-tropical so my skin does have a bit more colour than if I lived in - say - the UK. That does mean I can get away with white and black and even the other lighter autumn colours, but that would never work for me in a cooler, much less sunny climate.
I'm so annoyed she made you hold up so many fabrics instead of just draping them on you lol. In every other professional analysis I've seen, the analyst lets the fabric rest on the torso. It's also helpful to see how the fabric interacts with your skin underneath the chin. Some bad colors will reflect way too much there, or add too much shadow. When the fabrics are all sitting away from your chest, every color has deep shadows under your chin.
I thought this was not very professionally done, quite shocked by the lack of order of things! Try watching Colour Analysis Studio or Sara Ryan the style coach, both on RUclips for really professional analysis. This one was, sorry to say, amazingly sloppy.
She's got great style. I've heard they should "blend into the background" as much as possible so as not to distract from the client, but each analyst is different :-)
It looks like you are wearing light makeup for this, or you are just lucky to be born with rosy lips etc? The right colours will make your lips look pinker or your skin look brighter, even without makeup. And I would worry that makeup would make it harder to tell whether your skin and colouring looks better with different fabric since the point of makeup is to fix those things regardless of what colour your clothing is. Some of it was still pretty clear though even if you had enhanced your skin tone or lip colour with makeup prior.
First I was thinking, You would be a soft summer, but in the photos - soft versus cool summer - I prefered the cool one. But hard to tell from a screen.
12:26 I totally disagree! I think you look amazing with the coral orange and disappear into the background/look pasty with the pepto bismol pink and stinky teal. but then maybe I'm biased because I can't stand most of the summer color palate and love orange. Anyway...I just can't embrace color analysis bc I don't fit in any box! But 13:52 you look way better in the summer palette. I haven't found a color season yet that isn't contradictory.
The trick is not to wear the unflattering colours near your face. You can still get away with a skirt or pants that still looks ok with your colour palette .
I find it not only hard to identify myself, but also my skin really changes from summer to winter (the actual seasons, not the color thesis seasons :D), bc i'm getting nearly an olive tan, but in winter i'm so rosy-white. 😮💨
The fact that you got the results and finished video with the black blouse is so upsettling... would it be to hard to change into whatever colour of the sof pallete to prove the point?
It shouldn’t change much once you’re an adult! People do seem to lose some colour/brightness as they get older but I think many people also dress less colourful and bright, which on a colourful or bright person makes you appear dull. So maybe that’s all it is. Even when people go grey some go a softer grey while others look more silver and bright, some greys are a little warmer than others too. Betty White is a good example of colours and aging imo! She looked stunning in bright and contrasted colours no matter her age
@@EmL-kg5gn I think you generally soften a bit and maybe lighten, but stay either side of your original season, so go to soft autumn from warm or dark, or cool summer instead of soft or light etc.
@@trishagoodwin4069 I’ve heard that too! I’ve also heard people say it never changes. My guess is maybe some people’s stays the same while for others it does change a little? The nice thing is that the draping process can always be done again if someone’s no longer feeling sure about their colours
"The fabric arrives before you." What an accurate way to put it.
Huge kudos to this woman for doing this in what's not her native language - there are so many very particular terms one uses when being specific about colors that it's tremendous to communicate the right thing!

Depends on the system of analysis. Not all systems use that particular "check" of the sister season to confirm.

Loved this video - I knew you were soft summer because you have my sister’s exact coloring! You are adorable! Wish I could make it to Montreal!
I love that you showed your new hair color at the end and that you wore something in your palette--it looks great!
Thank you for noticing!

Cool summer is also summer so a soft summer should also be able to wear cool summer, if that makes sense

I knew you were soft summer just looking at the thumbnail :D
So many people are falling for the DIY online analysis nowadays. It's not effective.

Different analyzers use differently
coloured drapes meaning they often
get different results.
Super interesting video. Ana was great, her explanations were so helpful, I feel like I learned something.
I believe that the medium warm colors look best on you
Fiver is funny, you couldn't have more completely opposite 'diagnoses' than true Winter and Soft Autumn haha.

I could tell your season in like 1/4 of a second. ha

When I thought I was a cool summer, I was looking at Emily Blunt and Catriona Balfe.
How much does a professional color analysis cost and where do you get one?

It's on purpose so it doesn't interfere with her client. It's so she can blend into the background while doing the clients color analysis.
